Listing docker containers:

docker ps -a -q

error:

Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.40/containers/json?all=1: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

temporary fix:

grep docker /etc/group
newgrp docker

Oddly, if I exit out of bash from the Gnome Terminal I have to re-run the group command(s) above.

Why? And, how to make that configuration persist?

You need to start a new login session for new group changes to take effect. That's what you're doing in a limited way with newgrp anyway. – muru Aug 04 '20 at 04:43
I logged out with the gui and logged back in so don't understand why I'm still seeing that error. – Nicholas Saunders Aug 04 '20 at 05:22

See the dupe, in newer versions if you logout your session itself left alive. – muru Aug 04 '20 at 05:59

yes, I used loginctl terminate-user and thanks for the response. – Nicholas Saunders Aug 04 '20 at 06:01
